Let A be any language. Define DROP-OUT(A)to be the language containing all strings that can be obtained by removing one symbol from a string in A. Thus,DROP-OUT(A)={xz|xyzAwherex,z*,y} . Show that the class of regular languages is closed under the DROP-OUT operation. Give both a proof by picture and a more formal proof by construction as in Theorem 1.47.

The class of regular languages is closed under DROP_OUToperation.

Step by step solution

01

To Operation the DROP_ OUT

A is any language and DROP-OUT(A)={xz|xyzAwherex,z*,y}.

We have to prove that the class of the regular languages closed under the DROP_OUT operation.

If A is a regular language, then DROP-OUT(A)is also regular language.

We have to take that A is regular and we have to prove that the DROP-OUT(A)is regular.

Since A is a regular language, it must be recognized by a DFA.

Let M=Q,,,q0,Fbe the DFA that recognizes A.

02

To Construct the NFA

Now we will construct the NFA N=Q',{},',q0',F'that recognizes DROP-OUT(A).

There are two copies of Machine M.

Copy 1:Copy 1 corresponds to the state of having 鈥榥ot yet skipped a symbol鈥

Copy 2:Copy 2 corresponds to the state of having 鈥渁lready skipped a symbol鈥.

(i) Proof by picture: -

N=Q',{},',q0',F'

Q={q,b|qQ,b{0,1}}= set of states

q0'=start state

=q0,0

F'=set of final states

={(q,1|qF}.

未'is gives as follows:

localid="1663243041084" '((a,b),a)={((q,a),b)}鈭赌qQ,b{0,1},a

This means that both the copy1 and copy2 of the machineMdo exactly as the original machine does on every symbol a of the alphabet

localid="1663243051646" '((q,0),)={(q^,1)a,(q,a)=q^}

Also at every stage, the machine has the option to skip a character. The only accepting sates are in copy 2. This means, the machine cannot accept a string without skipping a character.

03

To Proof the given length of the string

The formal proof is given by induction on the length of the string.

An appropriate inductive hypothesis is to assume that, for any string w of length k,

The machine M stays in the copy -1 if it has not yet skipped a symbol.

i.e. '*((q0,0),)=(q1,0)iff(q0,)=q1

The machine M jumps to the copy-2 if there is some symbol a that is skipped.

i.e. '*((q0,0),)=(q1,1)if(q0,1a2)=q1 .

So, in both (i) and (ii) we constructed and NFAN that recognizes the language role="math" localid="1663242954164" DROP-OUT(A).

Thus DROP-OUT(A)is regular.

Hence class of regular languages is closed under DROP-OUT(A)operation.

The pumping lemma says that every regular language has a pumping length P , such that every string in the language can be pumped if it has length p or more. If P is a pumping length for language A, so is any length p'pThe minimum pumping length for A is the smallest p that is a pumping length for A . For example, if A=01*, the minimum pumping length is 2.The reason is that the string s=0is in A and has length 1 yet s cannot be pumped; but any string A in of length 2 or more contains a 1 and hence can be pumped by dividing it so that x=0,y=1,andzis the rest. For each of the following languages, give the minimum pumping length and justify your answer.

Recall that string x is a prefix of string y if a string z exists where xz=y, and that x is a proper prefix of y if in addition x6=y. In each of the following parts, we define an operation on a language A. Show that the class of regular languages is closed under that operation.

a)NOPREFIXA={wA|noproperprefixofwisamemberofA}.b)NOEXTENDA={wA|wisnottheproperprefixofanystringinA}.

  1. Show that ifis a DFA that recognizes languageB, swapping the accept and non accept states inyields a new DFA recognizing the complement ofB. Conclude that the class of regular languages is closed under complement.
  2. Show by giving an example that ifM is an NFA that recognizes language C swapping the accept and non accept states in Mdoesn鈥檛 necessarily yield a new NFA that recognizes the complement of C. Is the class of languages recognized by NFAs closed under complement? Explain your answer.
